Unemployment Insurance in Theory and Practice
综述了自1970年代以来失业保险经济分析的发展，重点介绍理论创新（如工作搜寻理论）如何推动实证研究，并对经济政策产生重要影响。
A hallmark of modern labor economics is the close interplay between the development of theory, data sources and econometric testing. The evolution of the economic analysis of unemployment insurance provides a good illustration. New theoretical approaches, in particular job‐search theory, have inspired a large amount of empirical research, some of it methodologically innovative and most of it highly relevant for economic policy. The paper presents a broad survey and an assessment of the economic analysis of unemployment insurance as it has evolved since the 1970s.
